Strong Early Reading Skills In Children Yields Higher Intelligence Later; Helps With 'More General Cognitive Abilities' Most parents nurture a secret desire that their child will grow up to be an Einstein or a Rosalind Franklin. While the market is flooded with a number of commercial products like DVDs, books, games, etc., that claim to boost a child’s intelligence, new research shows improving a most basic skill in child years will lead to development of higher IQ later on in life: reading. "Since reading is an ability that can be improved, our findings have implications for reading instruction," Stuart J. Ritchie, lead author of the study, said in a press release. Psychologists over the years, in an attempt to understand intelligence, have divided it into two categories: fluid and crystallized intelligence. The researchers of the current study attempted to find this correlation between early reading and improved IQ. The researchers looked at the participants' scores in reading and intelligence tests taken when the twins were 7, 9, 10, 12, and 16. Follow Us Source: Ritchie S, Bates T, Plomin R.

Rural Intelligence | Food: Spirits - The Wine Tasting Train, Drinking in the Scenery [See more Spirits articles] by Betsy Miller The clicking of the wheels on the rails. The Berkshire Scenic Railway, a non-profit committed to restoring a local branch of the Massachusetts railway network, is co-sponsoring, along with Hilltop Orchards and its vineyard, Furnace Brook Winery, a train ride/wine tasting that starts and ends at the 1903 Lenox Train Station, on June 25. Once the train arrives in Stockbridge, passengers will disembark for coffee, a slice of Hilltop Orchard’s caramel-walnut apple pie, and a chance to explore the 1893 station, which is owned by Jack Fitzpatrick, former owner of the Red Lion Inn (his daughter Nancy now owns and operates the Inn). Berkshire Scenic’s entire team, including the engineer, conductor and special events manager, is volunteer, all dedicated to keeping this form of transportation alive.
